Paintings with Wildflowers — Blossoms Unleashed

Where Nature’s Blooms Find Their Voice

As an artist who revels in the world of oil paintings, I find myself inexplicably drawn to wildflowers. There’s an intimate connection—an unspoken dialogue—that blooms forth when I encounter these delicate wonders on canvas.

When I paint wildflowers, I want to capture every nuance—the dew-kissed petal, the delicate veins of a leaf, the way sunlight dances through translucent petals. My paintings of wildflowers invite viewers to join me in this close encounter with nature. The canvas becomes a portal, and suddenly, we’re standing together amidst the blooms. Allow me to share some wildflower paintings with you.

Artist Comments

Prickly pear cactus are hardy plants, well-adapted to arid conditions and are famous for their flavorful fruits and showy flowers.

From my “Life in Texas Series.” This painting of a prickly pear cactus was a fun one to do. It brought back memories of my childhood. I grew up in west Texas where these flowering desert plants are commonplace. One doesn’t really give much thought to them unless you have a personal encounter with one. Ouch! Some varieties have really long thorns that can really hurt if you’re not careful.

—Teresa Bernard

Your Feedback

“Wow I thought it was a photo when scrolling past. Just grilled up a prickly pear last month – yum!” — @wedareto, TRUTH Social

“So pretty… I love prickly pears!!!” — @kamilasart, TRUTH Social

“Cacti very likely represent the thorns and thistles that man must reap after his fall. I believe they may also represent refreshment and survival in the most difficult of situations. Humans and animals often find refreshment and water within cacti. It isn’t ideal, but many have survived in the most dire of circumstances. God be with you all. May we fully experience the refreshment of God in this age and the age to come.” — @ArtMusic_only, Gab

Artist Comments

I love all flowers; however, the sunflower is one of my favorites. I love the bright sunshine-yellow petals and huge blossoms that resemble the sun. Most sunflower paintings are composed of the front of the blossom. However, the backsides of some flowers are just as beautiful, and the sunflower is certainly one.

—Teresa Bernard

About Sunflowers

- The sunflower is a plant that is native to North America. Later it was introduced to Mexico and Peru. They can grow up to 6 feet tall and prefer dry, sunny places where their roots can dig deep into the soil.
- When the plant is in the bud stage, it will face the sun following its movement across the sky from horizon to horizon. This movement allows it to get the maximum amount of the sun’s rays. After the flower has fully opened into the radiance of yellow petals, it will face only east. No one knows why it does this. One theory is it is possibly a defensive response to prevent the sun from scalding the seed pod during hot summer days.
- The sunflower is often equated as a symbol of spiritual faith, worship, adoration, loyalty, and longevity, perhaps because it always seeks the “Light.”

‘Poppy Pods’ is a painting that depicts the decorative seed pods of the opium poppy plant. They have such an interesting shape that I wanted to draw the viewer’s attention to the beauty of these natural elements.

Your Feedback

“Very pretty! Funny story…..I had a few poppies with beautiful flowers growing in my backyard when 1 day, my next door neighbor comes knocking on my door wanting the poppy pods. I obliged.” — @HepflDesigns, TRUTH Social

“I appreciate the gentle blue that you made for the background. The poppies are interesting shapes, it’s not difficult to understand why a painter, yourself, chose this subject. A good painting for people to show in a room where they relax, the colors are all easy on the eyes.” — @JosephChristian33, Gab

Artist Comments

I live in the country, and scenes like the one in this painting are common. They are always a source of inspiration and provide me with material for my paintings.

This painting was a fun one to do. While I was painting the fence post in a meadow of wildflowers, a similar painting came to mind that I had done some time ago. It had a fence post too. However, the fence post in that earlier painting was nestled in the snow. I titled it “Fence Post in the Snow.” Who knows if there will be another fence post painting in the near future.
